Britain ruled the Sudan while Egypt paid for it under the condominium

Evidence

The condominium meant sharing: a British governor-general of the Sudan, appointed by the khedive on the “recommendation” of the British government, would govern the country, whereas the Egyptian Treasury would pay for the enterprise. More than anyone, its inventor knew it to be an enigmatic name, almost literary. — Eve M. Troutt Powell, A Different Shade of Colonialism_…, 755

The Egyptian Wafd Party continually raised the issue of the Sudan’s political status and promoted the concept of the geographic and political unity of the Nile Valley; but the British officials refused to concede any ground on the extent of their authority in the Sudan. For twenty years, since 1899 and the reclamation of the Sudan from the Mahdïya, the British government had insisted on the sanctity of the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium, through which Britain ruled the Sudan while the Egyptian treasury paid the bills. — Eve M.
